About the Author
Virginia Heslinga, Assistant Professor of Humanities and Education at Anna Maria College, has been collecting historical stories since childhood. She has given researched talks on historic characters, holidays, events, New England towns, and led a variety of ghost walks. Stories, factual or fanciful, capture minds and hearts. In her over 30 years of teaching in America and overseas, Virginia has found that even cross culturally, stories have incredible power to entertain, reveal, and inspire. Although she has been writing since she was a child, she still sees herself as a teacher who writes rather than as a writer who teaches. Wounded Dove is Virginia’s first published book. After her dissertation is completed in 2009, that will become another book. Many more projects are ahead.
